Indian Subsidiary Registration

An Indian subsidiary is a private limited company owned by a foreign parent — up to 100% under the automatic FDI route in most sectors, with no prior government approval needed. The build has three layers most foreign founders underestimate: incorporation itself (with apostilled parent documents and at least one Indian-resident director), the RBI reporting after capital lands (FC-GPR within 30 days of allotment), and the operating registrations — PAN, TAN, GST, bank account.

FilingBase runs all three layers, and can provide guidance on resident-director arrangements where the parent has no India team yet. LexVerge LLP’s cross-border practice papers the parent-subsidiary agreements — transfer pricing included — so the structure survives its first audit.
